Subject: [Moims-ipr] ISO reconfirmation of SFDU Standards
Message-ID: <4B144395.3030401@nasa.gov>

Dear Colleagues,

The SFDU Standard (ISO 13764, CCSDS 630.0-B-2) is up for its periodic 
ISO reconfirmation.

Country Representatives will send in ballots answering these questions 
(my proposed US answers provided):
* next to an answer indicates that a comment is required.

1. Recommended Action  Withdraw, Revise/Amend, Confirm, Confirm with 
correction of errors*, Abstain, Abstain with survey replies**
(Confirm)

2. Has this International Standard been adopted or is it intended to be 
adopted in the future as a national standard or other publication? Yes*, No
(No)

3. Is the national publication identical to the International Standard 
or was it modified?  Identical, Modified*
Reply only if the answer to Question 2 is Yes
(Skipped)

4. Is this International Standard used in your country without national 
adoption or are products used in your country based on this standard? 
Yes, No*
(Yes)

5. Is this International Standard, or its natiaonal adoption, referenced 
in regulations in your country? Yes*, No
(No)

I think we should continue to recertify the SFDU standard, since we 
continue to hold data in SFDU format.  Economic considerations will 
prevent us from converting all the data to any other format in the near 
future.

If anyone feels the answers should be something else, please respond by 
December 4th so we can provide the form to our national voting 
representatives.

Cheers,
-JOhn
